Frequently Asked Questions
Can I call for a single session on a single issue? Absolutely. I encourage this. There are times when we get stuck, hijacked, triggered by a single thing that we can’t figure out. To avoid encountering worsening symptoms it is best to keep these things identified and dealt with sooner rather than later. If, when we are talking, I know the issue to be a bigger, multi-step issue, I will advise you as to my recommendations at that time. You are always able to choose what works for you. I will give you my wisest counsel and experience on the matter.
How long do sessions take? Each session is customized and tailored to the needs at that time. In general, sessions will take between 60-90 minutes depending on the depth of the subject. Holistic counseling sessions are usually the longer of the spectrum as they are deeper in nature.
What do I need to prepare for my session? You will need an uninterrupted space for yourself to get the most out of our time. This can be something as simple as your car, your bedroom, or any other space where you can have good light and quiet. It is best to bring a notepad or journal to jot things down.
How many sessions will I need? This is completely dependent on the individual client. During the discovery call you will be given my estimation of what I recommend as a starting commitment to realize your goals. The more you practice and apply the tools you learn the faster the process goes. But you are able to decide any time if you want to continue or take a break from sessions.
What will be asked of me? The most important thing is honesty and transparency. Progress is always less than optimal if the relationship of complete trust is not there. I can best help you and get you what you need if I know what is truly going on. Sugar coating is not productive☺. Each session will have tools and steps appropriate for the following week(s), given in incremental amounts appropriate to where you are and what you’re struggling with.
Are my results guaranteed? What is guaranteed are methods that work, have been rigorously field tested and are up to date with current research. You are guaranteed to have personal one on one attention and troubleshooting, and ways to fix whatever trouble you encounter. However, the follow through, will ultimately be dependent upon your willingness to take the steps we decide upon in our sessions. These steps are always small and manageable in scale for where you are.
Do you coach couples together? Yes this is a great and available option. However, if there needs to be individual diving, I will explain that and we will split to private sessions as needed. The times couples meeting together works well is if there is a health challenge one partner has and both are wanting to be committed to supporting and healing this issue. In these cases there is a cohesiveness between the goals of the couple. At any time, if one partner needs individual or private attention we will make that happen.
How do I pay for my sessions? Life Flow Wellness accepts PayPal, Venmo, or current credit card. If local, you may also pay by personal check.
Why must I pay for a block of sessions in advance? This is a policy that is absolutely for your benefit. Ultimately, I am committed to make sure you succeed. I have included any policy I can to ensure this. Having a financial investment in a number of sessions up front can keep you coming when you pass through a tough spot or are having a bad day and want to quit. The normal course is for a committed block of sessions decided upon during the Discovery Call, and paid upon the start date. After that you may pay for single sessions as you need and want them. But by this time we have gotten you past the hump of wanting to quit on yourself.
